    no one has any ideas? Stock tire, stock wheels. lowered 1 inch on eibach springs, bilstein sport shocks. When I first drive the car in the morning, no noise. Then, if I drive it an hour or 2 later, the rubbing noise starts. What could it be? Nothing visually obvious that I can tell....

    it would most likely be a caliper pin that has gone out of round/out of lube rather than a caliper sticking. after a long drive, feel the brake hardware on both sides of the axle. if one side is hotter than the other, you probably have an actual stick. also, pin problems will manifest themselves as pads that wear down at an angle abnormally faster compared to the other side, as opposed to the wholesale overheating/wear situation that occurs for a sticking caliper.
